"The" Weekend


We had a blast on our trip to Anaheim. It was relaxing. There was no plans really. Just the games. Or at least that was all that was planned!!

Friday: We left Vegas after Josh got off. Stopped for gas and Jack in the Box. Drove straight through. We got to the Hilton we pricelined to check in and the couldn't pull us up. I ran out to the car to get the confirmation to find out that we were at the wrong Hilton. Called Josh because I wasn't about to walk in there again. He grabbed his ID and walked out. Went to check into the right hotel. It turned out to be really nice suites. Living room/Bedroom deal. Asked the front desk if it was too far from the stadium to walk and she said "OH YEAH! Like 15 minutes in the car." We were kinda bummed because we didn't want to pay to park. Got to the room and went to bed.

Saturday: Slept in. Josh opened the curtains to find the stadium was the view out our window. Definitely walking distance. Got dressed in our Mariners get up. Went to McDonald's for breakfast. Went to the mall. Stopped at Target for some waters, baseball cards (didn't score any Mariner's cards), and a baseball for signatures at batting practice. No luck on the baseball. Stopped at Big 5 for a baseball. Got another pack of baseball cards (didn't score any Mariner's cards or Angels). Headed back to the hotel. He watched the NFL draft. I played on the computer and read a book. Went to eat dinner. Walked to the game early for batting practice. Check out the memorial they had for one of their pitchers who just died a few weeks ago in a car crash. He was hit by a drunk driver.We were in the outfield for this game. Was close to catching a couple but not quite close enough. Sat next to some pretty cool Angels fans. Ate all the baseball junk food. The Mariner's ended up winning that game. Went back to the hotel and went to bed.

Sunday: Woke up early. Packed up. Check out. Went to Carl's Jr. for breakfast. Headed straight to the game from their for batting practice. Hoped to get the stuff signed today because we were only 6 rows up from Mariner's dug out. No luck. It was a little league thing today so we weren't allowed in for batting practice. We got to watch them warm up a little. Josh was excited to watch Ken Griffey Jr. play again.Sat next to some fun Mariner's fans. It was a little toasty this day. Applied sunscreen every other inning. They ended up loosing the game so there wasn't much to cheer for or so I thought. :) On the way out Josh asked if I wanted to go to Disneyland. I was kind of hesitant about going. I didn't want to pay for a whole days worth for only 5 or 6 hours and we both had to be the work the next day. I was kind of ready to go home. He convinced me so we went. We rode rides. Headed to the gift shop for some souvenirs. Ate some dinner. Rode more rides. We were getting tired but we decided to take our picture in front of the castle by those photographers that stand around. As she got ready to take it...he got down on one knee and started laughing. I looked at him and asked him..."are you going to ask me?" He said..."will you marry me?" and took the "souvenir" (a fake ring) he bought out of his pocket and I handed him the wrong hand. Everyone watching was clapping. We finally got the ring on the right hand and took a couple more pictures. As we were walking out of the park, I was already calling my parents. He was texting family and friends. I started texting everyone. Our phones were just going crazy, but it was awesome to read every ones response. After we were almost to the car, Josh reminded me that my purse was in the locker inside Disneyland. It was closing so only he could go in and get it. We made it back to the car finally. Stopped for gas and snacks and headed home. Talked about guest lists, the wedding party, and other wedding details in the way home. Got to his house and got my "real" ring. It is absolutely beautiful. He picked it all out him self. We called it a night and I headed home.
It was an awesome trip!! The games were a great time and the whole weekend ended with a bang. I can't believe that it is actually happening. I'm so excited!!

Josh's Birthday Week...

Is not over yet. On his actual birthday we just went to dinner at Olive Garden. I bought him a pair of cowboy boots but he has had them for a while now. This weekend we are headed to Anaheim to watch the Mariners play the Angels. Its not really for Josh's birthday but everyone gets a birthday week around here so we are saying it is. I can't wait. I have grown to like watching baseball, only live that is! No TV games.
My Boss' B-day

My boss' birthday was yesterday so Sunday after the walk everyone met at the office with bags of balloons. We filled them up and stuffed the room. He loved it on yesterday morning when he walked in. In his 15 years of dentistry at the office he never had anything done like that. Balloons were flying out the door when he opened it. I wish I could have been there. Here are the before and afters:



AIDS Walk

This past Sunday, my work participated in the AIDS Walk. All of our familys came and walked too. I have never done a walk before but I really liked it. It makes you feel good after words. We ended up raising $450 in about a weeks time. There was about 7,000 people there. It was a 2 mile walk that started and ended at World Market Center. They had set up little bands and acts that were going on during the walk, a few booth set up with free samples and raffles before the walk started, a professional photo booth, and jumpy houses. I would like to do it again sometime when its about 10 degrees cooler.
The "Team"

The starting line

The "Team" walking

Really?
So I got my first ticket the other day. The cop said I ran a red light when he pulled me over and when he brought me my ticket he told me I failed to yield to a red light during a traffic stop. Who knows? I'm stuck with this ticket and have to pay it.

Some Randomness...

*Last Saturday night, Josh and I were driving by the strip we noticed there were no lights on most of the casinos. I remembered hearing something about this conserving energy thing. What is was was at 8:30 everyone was suppose to participate in conserving energy by turning off as many lights as you can for an hour. The strip was taking part in it I guess. The street lights were on and some, but not many didn't take part. It was just a weird thing to see. No lights on the strip. (no i didn't take this picture)*Yesterday, Josh and I went downtown to watch Kelly Pickler. It was a free concert also starring the Zac Brown Band and LeAnn Rimes. We ate dinner down there while Zac Brown Band started playing and just got done just in time to hear "Chicken Fried." We headed over to the stage where Kelly was going to sing. We waited there for 35 minutes just people watching. There are some crazy people down there. If we hadn't been there 35 minutes before she came on we wouldn't have been able to see. We only stayed for a couple songs because it was just too crowded. *Chris and Tauni's wedding is only a week a way. I am really excited for them and excited to see all of Josh's family coming into town. It has came really fast. I'm not going to lie I am a little stressed out about the hair. Hopefully Tauni doesn't look at this before the wedding but she is the 1st bride I have ever done. I have done A LOT of proms and homecoming up dos but that is not quite as important as a wedding. That's a big part of the day. I don't doubt my self but there definitely is some pressure. I know I am worrying for nothing. It's going to be a long day but I am sure it will be a good time.

*Had the cutest little girl sit in my chair on Saturday morning. She is a family friend of ours and I was dying to cut her hair off. It turned out sooooo cute! I love doing drastic haircuts on little kids. They get so excited afterwards. Here are her before and afters.
